Notes
This design is a slight variation in that Soane perceived the tower as being a single tier. He initially see SM 54/2/17 as being single tier too, but a later second tier to the tower is put in pencil, and is in the front elevation (SM 54/2/16). In the Royal Academy Lecture drawing for the same year (SM 15/4/8) and Royal Academy Summer Exhibition watercolour of 1825 (SM P259), both by Joseph Michael Gandy (1771-1843), a second tier is present.
